Chest wall resections and reconstruction are surgical procedures performed to address various conditions affecting the chest wall, including tumors, trauma, or congenital anomalies. These surgeries often involve the removal of a portion of the chest wall and subsequent reconstruction to restore its structural integrity and functionality. The specific techniques employed depend on the extent of resection and the underlying condition.

Chest wall resections and reconstruction are complex procedures requiring careful planning and coordination among a multidisciplinary team. The choice of reconstruction method depends on factors such as the patient’s overall health, the extent of resection, and the specific condition being treated. The goal is to achieve both oncologic control and functional, cosmetically acceptable outcomes.
